i understood more about modernism and post modernism in this 10 minutes video than what i ever understood in 12 weeks of studying it for a class at university....THANK YOU!
I'm glad you decided to push away your fears when uploading this video. This is brilliant. YOU are brilliant, and I can't wait for more of these lectures.
This was excellent - I did Philosophy at university and you've explained these concepts more clearly and succinctly than any of my professors ever managed to! Looking forward to the next one :)
I feel so much wiser. You explained and approached everything so clearly my dear. I know this was a tonne of hard work but you honestly produced something phenomenal in the end!
I practically never comment on videos but I just wanted to say how and fabulous you are. You make me get excited about literature and explain things in such an articulate way that makes me feel I could translate this information to other people! Thank you so much for bringing a dollop of academia to my subscriptions ☺️☺️❤️❤️
This was a good summary for beginners on what Modernism, & Postmodernism is. The internet is plagued with people who don't understand what postmodernism is. So having someone like you giving a brief, but a well explained video of it is great.
I can tell how hard you worked on this video, m'dear, and it is absolutely fabulous. I feel like I've finally begun to understand something that was only touched on during my English degree. So completely thrilled to be a member of the Unemployed Philosophers Club!
Unemployed historian here: both of these ideas played a role in the formation of many political movements especially in the later half of the 20th and early 21st century. You channel is wonderful.
I am retyping my comment for umpteenth time because I want to express how fucking great this is. This is something I (a state school A level student) have been dreaming of finding on RUclips. Content fabulous (v v v v interesting), style marvellous (not dumbing-down or patronising, but clear and build well). I am genuinely reeling (a little giddy with excitement) with how brilliant this. Thank you so so much for working so hard to create this (as a long term viewer I'm a little emotional with how proud I am of you), I'll be using it to develop my extra curricular reading for uni applications. You are honestly a marvel 💕
I'm studying Heart of Darkness and Dark Roots (A somewhat Post-modernist text) for Literature and this was the most incredible video for my studies! Keep up the amazing work and thank you so much for what you've already done :)
It was amazing, sometimes I had trouble understanding you when you got really excited though it's due to my lack of experience with listening to English lectures about literature and I'd like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to improve! It was informational and interesting and I'm really happy about your choice of topic as postmodern literature is pretty close to my heart! I hope you'll continue making lectures like this, you are wonderful and I enjoyed it thoroughly .
+Virág K Thank you SO much for having the patience to improve your English through me XD I'm not an easy subject to listen to so bravo! Thank you for your support xxxx
I am a final year school student from NZ previously bewildered and confused regarding the Post-Modernist philosophy, however post watching this video I have gained a significantly better understanding! If I wasn't broke I would happily support your Patreon as the suggested topics you mentioned interest me greatly. All the best for the future. Thank you
This was great and wonderful!! And I honestly cannot wait for the next ones. I really appreciate the readings lists too. Also, the matchstick was great - it made easier for me to understand the modernism and postmodernism, and the mention of Newton and Einstein helped too because I know more about physics than literature theory and that parallel helped a lot. I do believe that kids and students these days should be encouraged more to connect the different things they study and the way you did the lecture is another proof of that. Do I even make sense? Oh, well, thank you! It was lovely!
I love this so much. I study philosophy all the time but if I went to university I'd probably be unemployed too. Your lecture makes this so much easier to understand. Thank you!
This was really enjoyable. If this becomes a series I will totally look to it as a way to advance my own knowledge. The burnt match analogy really blew me away at the end. And I appreciate you including a suggested reading list. You go girl!!!
You really need not have worried so much. You did great! And with a topic that in the past has always worked like a tranquillizer on my brain down no less. I can't wait to see the next one.

Wonderful Cinzia, Now I get it! Thank you for all the hard word you put in, and your clarity and insight, so brimming with interesting comments, I must watch and rewatch to squeeze all the precious moments......Thank you.....p.s. I covet your spectacles.....
This was just wonderful. i've read almost a hundred page of this stuff and it made me even more confused. You made everything clearer. Thankyou, now i can go do my exam more confidently.
+Erick Aparicio I'm so glad you find it useful! Wouldn't be a lecture without giving a reading list - I thought they were just a good selection of diverse authors which would lead to other suggested readings should you wish to explore further (:
Fantastic video. I was having a debate with one of my colleagues on the use / view of technological advancement and the distinctive differences in perspective between the modernists and postmodernists, and I never thought of using the match example. Thanks so much!
This was great! I (german lit graduate) never tackled the subject myself and was left with an indistinct intuition of what postmodernism and modernism was. So excited for more episodes. You actually made me horribly nostalgic for uni. I hope there will be many more lectures (if not by the unemployed but rather the employed philosopher) :) Good luck to you!
ahh this was so interesting! i'm going to study english (as a foreign language; my native language is slovenian) and literature at university next school year, and i think these videos will be the perfect thing to help me prepare a little. thank you for doing it, i can't wait for your next lecture :) (also, you have suuuch a nice manner of speaking, it's so pleasant to listen to) have a lovely day!
+sarahm96 Oh wow best of luck for next school year!! If there's any topic you think will be useful with regards to literary history etc please do let me know (: xxxx
Many intelligent comments below. Some more than others. My advice in mentally separating modernism from post modernism is to analyze Lyotard's descriptions of both in his book, The Postmodern Condition, which you can most quickly access from Wikipedia. For the record, that book was the first to use the word "postmodern" out of the context of art criticism, and it was written in '79. Prob more recent than some would assume. The next philosophical landmark for postmodernism came as recently as '91 in the form of "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" by Frederic Jameson. My own summary: cultural turn toward general skepticism of centralized or authoritative truths that enabled the tragedy that was the twentieth century. Although some people still believe these things so we still have race supremacy, nationalism, and class based guilt
Hi! I just want to say that I watched this video and others of you which finally convinced me that I wanted to study English lit, and I just handed in my thesis on literary modernism and postmodernism a week ago. Thanks for inspiring me! (And now on to my masters)
"The flickering ..." brushing up on post modernist understanding of society while looking into your eyes,, glad this isn't an actual class room. ^^ Thx Cinzia from the past (now self employed editor)
Such an amazing video and lecture, Cinzia! I am so proud of you knowing what struggles you had editing and making this lecture. You have nothing to be afraid of since you're so intelligent and amazing! Lots of love.
So cool, thanks! May I suggest though, that you speak more slowly, and use a lapel mic. The reverberance in the room and the speed with which you deliver these complex concepts make the video difficult to follow and understand.
Thank you, Cinzia, for all the hard work and nerves and strength you put in this! You did so good! We are talking about it at Uni at the moment and I really did find that very helpful! And I genuienly admire how you got through it and I hope one day I find the strength to overcome obstacles like you did.
I would differentiate between modernism and realism as litterary styles, though both are modern in their view on the industrial society. postmodernism is a reaction, all right. but rather towards embracing the futility of existence opposed to trancending it. but I am not tought in the angloSaxon school
+C. A. DuBois (The Petite Britette) it certainly is worth everyone's time!! I'm a first year uni student and we haven't properly started studying literary theory and movements yet, this is a very helpful starter, thank you so much!
+C. A. DuBois (The Petite Britette) it may sound basic for you but for those who don't study English Literature (or better said, literature written in English) it is quite useful, so please, let's start with the basics and then we can move onto deeper analysis. So I'm with @opaltintedglasses in this, it is wonderful indeed. And quite enjoyable. Thank you so much
I don't and probably never will study literature theory, but I love reading and I love learning and I absolutely loved this lecture. :) It was so interesting and amazing and I'm so proud of you for getting this series started, Cinzia!!
(con.) i hope the confidence in your abilities grows, that you feel more comfortable about it. i appreciate your efforts a lot amd wish for it to be anenjoyable experience for yourself as well. i was sad to hear how much distress making this brought you, and all the more delighted to see how you shine! you are a great lecturer and i look forward to learning more from you. again, thank you!
very well constructed and performed lecture. really argued clearly but without "dumbing things down". thank you so much for taking your time to do this. i hope your confidence in your abik
Thanks for this Cinzia, for someone who knows absolutely nothing about this, you kept me engaged and I learnt a lot. Look forward to the next one :) xx
You explained this in a way six 12 page articles and a written lecture from my college professor didn't. Thank you! I feel like I have a slightly better grasp on this subject. :) I love how you used plainer language, or as plain as you could.
As an ordinary person this is a great explanation of the superiority psychosis which confuse the people of the world into believing academics, politicians and scientist have a knowledge and wisdom more valuable than their own.
Ok so yea I can buy that a pursuit of a universal truth and its political enforcement can be dangerous, I don't see why the post-modernist would thus conclude that there are no actual universal truths. We can still be afraid of what happens when people try to convince everybody that their way is the universal way and simultaneously recognize that there probably are some universal truths.
I'm a philosophy student, so anything and everything that concerns itself with philosophical writings is interesting to me really :) This whole series is a really lovely idea btw!
and because of this feeling that everything has to be subjective today we have people saying that science must fall... and yes, the people who say that are post modern.
I really enjoyed this lecture it was a great introduction of a subject I was not familiar with. I hope you make more of these because I'm sure that a lot of people will find it helpful and interesting
That was lovely Cinzia, I know you found this really difficult to approach but it was so interesting and simple to understand. Having only studied science at a university level this is something I'd not had the chance to hear about before so thank you. :)
Gods, I'm a sucker for that accent. Great rundown. Beautiful metaphor with the match (I will steal it in my asocial pretentious rant-turned conversation). A little rough on some cuts in editing but a nice first. Good luck, cheers!
Wonderful first lecture - you spoke with clarity and enthusiasm and those 13 minutes and 33 seconds went by very quickly! Looking forward to more. Well done!! :)
C. A. DuBois Aw thank you for the sweet words, Cinzia. Your videos have done a lot for me, so of course I'm ready with pom poms any time you need a cheerleader!
I love this!I would also love it if you had a couple of pages of notes or points from your lecture that we could print out and absorb as a slower pace.Can't wait for the next one though!
+notLola If I have the time in the future I'll try to but I'm afraid I'm working on a novel as well as applying for work so for the first few I'm afraidI won't have time to but I shall keep it in mind! Thank you
This video is AWESOME! THANK YOU!!! So much, you helped me with my college homework (English Short Stories reviewing Atwood's "Happy Endings") I finally understand the difference.
So fucking good! Keep it up! I study Deleuze and Derrida atm, you really captured a lot of the spirit of their thinking and brought lots of new insights into my thinking of their thought as a whole and as part of a larger movement.
This was so fun and informative! Thank you so much for all your hard work on this! You are amazing at explaining abstract concepts in a really clear and comprehensive manner, so don't worry about anything! ;) Here's one subscriber who is eager for more! Thank you again! xx
This was so fascinating, @C. A. Dubois! I really enjoyed this lecture - you're fantastic at it, and every engaging and interesting. Keep it up, girl! I loved your analogy of the match, and the flickering flame of the modernist period. I recently read T.S. Eliot's "Selected Poems" which had the poem "Waste Lands" and I think that is very true. I'm still not 100% sure I understand the post-modernist theory, but somehow I have the feeling that is the point, that everything is relative and abstract, and there can be no universal truth, etc. Ooh, Victorian Literature would be a topic I'd be really interested in, as well as the Enlightenment and Medieval literature. Also, I think it would be interesting to hear more about how the novel came to be, and structuralism vs. and post structuralism - wow, so many exciting possibilities and topics! I am excited! Thank you so much for doing this, Cinzia!
I really enjoyed the content of your talk. You have a great facility for summarizing a complicated subject and bringing out the essential basic elements. I would like you to think about slowing down your delivery and lower the pitch of your voice to make it easier to absorb your undoubted scholarship and knowledge.
I think the best way forward, is the way in which most end up being happy. If you constantly look for that which is wrong, all you will see is a world that is wrong. But if you look at what seems to make people happy and focus on flourishing this, then you will have a better world. :)
Just came back from Barcelona and saw some of Gaudi's work, described proudly as modernismo! But actually Gaudi developed his own personal style, a blend of modernism, neo-gothicism and art nouveau which was a homage to Nature, or even to God the Scientist!
I used the subtitles to have an easier time understanding what you said. Your accent is what it is, no one should have anything to say about it, but I do want to make a mention of it because of how hilarious I found it that that even RUclips couldn't properly track your words. Thanks a lot for this video, it helped me understand the difference between the two notions - a LOT. Keep it up
i understood more about modernism and post modernism in this 10 minutes video than what i ever understood in 12 weeks of studying it for a class at university....THANK YOU!
you dont say "Unemployed Philosopher" you just say Philosopher
"Unemployed" is a given
joking love this video

In the realm of thought, two movements arise,
Modernism and Postmodernism, in the philosopher's guise,
Distinct in their ways, they paint a tale,
Of contrasting philosophies that bewilder and regale.
Modernism, a quest for truth, a seismic shift,
An age of reason, logic's powerful gift,
Challenging norms, it sought to define,
Innovative thoughts in a structured line.
Eliot and Woolf, in Modernism's sphere,
Fragmented truths, a dissonance clear,
In "The Waste Land," a shattered verse,
Disillusionment's cry, a narrative terse.
Frost's simple lines, a rural scene,
Life's subtle truths in the everyday sheen,
Modernist echoes in each word displayed,
A longing for meaning, a depth conveyed.
Postmodernism, a rebellion's cheer,
From Modernism's grip, it sought to veer,
Deconstruction, a key in its hand,
Challenging structures, a bold stand.
Vonnegut and Pynchon, in playful spree,
Mocking reality, absurdity set free,
A Slaughterhouse tale, a war's grim jest,
A narrative maze, a postmodern quest.
Morrison's Beloved, haunting and stark,
Memory's maze in a narrative arc,
Postmodern echoes, identities veiled,
Truths entangled, realities assailed.
Unemployed philosopher, a concept in flight,
Between Modernism's logic and Postmodernism's plight,
In a shifting world where ideas collide,
The philosopher muses, the currents he rides.
One seeks truth in a structured hand,
The other, a rebel, in a fragmented stand,
In this clash of thoughts, they intertwine,
In the Unemployed Philosopher's uncertain line.

Thank you very much the understandable explanation of the differences. I was lost until I watched this video!!!!!
Wonderful first lecture - you spoke with clarity and enthusiasm and those 13 minutes and 33 seconds went by very quickly! Looking forward to more. Well done!! :)
+Kelsey Lee Bless you thank you so much for always being so epically beautiful and kind to me Kelsey
C. A. DuBois Aw thank you for the sweet words, Cinzia. Your videos have done a lot for me, so of course I'm ready with pom poms any time you need a cheerleader!
I love this!I would also love it if you had a couple of pages of notes or points from your lecture that we could print out and absorb as a slower pace.Can't wait for the next one though!
+notLola If I have the time in the future I'll try to but I'm afraid I'm working on a novel as well as applying for work so for the first few I'm afraidI won't have time to but I shall keep it in mind! Thank you
This video is AWESOME! THANK YOU!!! So much, you helped me with my college homework (English Short Stories reviewing Atwood's "Happy Endings") I finally understand the difference.
This video is so helpful to thank you so much for this breakdown of some very complicated concepts!
This is fantastic!!! Please please keep making videos like this one!
+Alex Cano I shall!! :D Thank you
Wow! An amazing first lecture. Keep up the good work.
your way of speaking made me watch the video 4 times to understand it Haha , now I almost took all these information by heart ... Thank you !
I love this! Great and concise explanation of both. Love your channel!
Thank you, anna!
So fucking good! Keep it up! I study Deleuze and Derrida atm, you really captured a lot of the spirit of their thinking and brought lots of new insights into my thinking of their thought as a whole and as part of a larger movement.
This was so fun and informative! Thank you so much for all your hard work on this! You are amazing at explaining abstract concepts in a really clear and comprehensive manner, so don't worry about anything! ;) Here's one subscriber who is eager for more! Thank you again! xx
Wonderful! You are so incredibly knowledgeable. I do hope you can do more lectures.
+Arizona Jen I hope I do too! Thank you xxx
This was so fascinating, @C. A. Dubois! I really enjoyed this lecture - you're fantastic at it, and every engaging and interesting. Keep it up, girl! I loved your analogy of the match, and the flickering flame of the modernist period. I recently read T.S. Eliot's "Selected Poems" which had the poem "Waste Lands" and I think that is very true. I'm still not 100% sure I understand the post-modernist theory, but somehow I have the feeling that is the point, that everything is relative and abstract, and there can be no universal truth, etc.
Ooh, Victorian Literature would be a topic I'd be really interested in, as well as the Enlightenment and Medieval literature. Also, I think it would be interesting to hear more about how the novel came to be, and structuralism vs. and post structuralism - wow, so many exciting possibilities and topics! I am excited!
Thank you so much for doing this, Cinzia!
This is fantastic! I'm guilty of watching this a few times. Yay for new lectures!
+cakes_lollies Thank you :D xxx
I really enjoyed the content of your talk. You have a great facility for summarizing a complicated subject and bringing out the essential basic elements. I would like you to think about slowing down your delivery and lower the pitch of your voice to make it easier to absorb your undoubted scholarship and knowledge.
This video is so excellent! Perfect companion to Note on the Meaning of Post.
Thank you very much for the lecture and the reading list. I'm so interested in this topic. And congratulations on the great start!
+Anna Shatsky Thank YOU so much
Thank You... Loved this. Can't wait till the next.
I think the best way forward, is the way in which most end up being happy. If you constantly look for that which is wrong, all you will see is a world that is wrong. But if you look at what seems to make people happy and focus on flourishing this, then you will have a better world. :)
@@az0r22 You can be a dog if it makes you happy.
Everything you say sounds smart
I saw the thumbnail and I was like "I hope she has a british accent" (for some reasons). I was not disappointed.
Unemployed = British.
Lmao same
Got 20 seconds in, realised I could understand what what happening, then rewound
Just came back from Barcelona and saw some of Gaudi's work, described proudly as modernismo! But actually Gaudi developed his own personal style, a blend of modernism, neo-gothicism and art nouveau which was a homage to Nature, or even to God the Scientist!
This was AMAZING! Thank you for doing it! I cannot wait for more!
+Now Voyaging Thank you
I used the subtitles to have an easier time understanding what you said. Your accent is what it is, no one should have anything to say about it, but I do want to make a mention of it because of how hilarious I found it that that even RUclips couldn't properly track your words.
Thanks a lot for this video, it helped me understand the difference between the two notions - a LOT. Keep it up
This is amazing. I'm very, very excited about your lectures. Thank you so much for the efforts you put into this! :)
+Iva S. Thank you so much xxx
what a good explaination.. thanks.. relating art to philosophy is the way to understand what's going on..
I seriously love this so much. I wish I had you to explain this while I was in school!
+Alannah Cataldo (throamirrorclear) Thank you
